Last year Sony unveiled its Xperia XA2, Xperia XA2 Ultra, and L2 smartphones aimed at mid-range and low-range markets. So, it is justified to assume that Sony might reveal its low and mid-tier Xperia smartphones lineup at the CES Press Conference. Generally, smartphone manufacturers wait until Mobile World Congress (MWC) which happens in February every year for new smartphone releases. However, part of Sony’s strategy involves leveraging the CES to release low and mid-tier smartphones while keeping the cream of the crop flagship devices for MWC. And, we can expect the same to happen in 2019 too.

Sony has also been building a lot of hype around 5G technology and this year’s CES seems to be a great platform for the company to release some concrete news on the progress in the development of these devices.
